Ballot Title and Summary is filed, County Counsel shall prepare and transmit to the
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk the Ballot Title and Summary, which shall not
exceed 500 words and consist of a true and impartial statement of the proposed
measure’s purpose. The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk in turn shall provide a
copy of it to the proponent.
B) The proponent or any elector of the County may file a writ of mandate requiring that

writ of mandate shall be issued upon proof that the Ballot Title and Summary is

SECTION TWO (continued)
PROPONENT TO EXECUTE AND SUBMIT STATEMENT OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT
(E. C. §§ 9608, 9609, 9610, and 18650)
No one shall knowingly or willfully permit the list of signatures on an initiative petition to
be used for any purpose other than qualification of the proposed measure for the ballot,
except as provided in Section 6253.5 of the Government Code. Violation of this section
is a misdemeanor. A proponent of an initiative measure shall execute and submit, along
with the request for a Title and Summary for the proposed measure, a signed
statement. (EXHIBIT B)
The certification required by Elections Code § 9608(a) shall be kept on file by the
agency authorized to prepare the Title and Summary for the proposed initiative measure
for not less than eight months after the certification of the results of the election for
which the Petition qualified for, or if the measure, for any reason, is not submitted to the
voters, eight months after the deadline for submission of the Petition to the County
Elections Official.
Failure to comply with this section shall not invalidate any signatures on a state or local
initiative petition.
CIRCULATION AND PUBLICATION OF PETITION
(E.C. §§ 9101, 9103, 9105, 9108 and § 9110)
A) The proponent must publish the Notice of Intention and the Title and Summary of the

be circulated. (EXHIBIT C) Each petition section (page) must comply with the
requirements of Sections 100, 104, 9020 and 9105 of the Elections Code and
contain a copy of the Notice of Intention, Title and Summary, and Full Text of
Initiative.
C) Petition signatures shall be filed within 180 calendar days from the date of receipt
of the Title and Summary, or after termination of any action for a writ of mandate
and, if applicable, after receipt of an Amended Title or Summary.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTION DURING CIRCULATION
(E. C. § 9111)
During the circulation of the petition or before taking any action to either submit the
initiative to the voters or enact the ordinance, the Board of Supervisors may refer the
initiative to any county agency for review and a report on its effect on specific issues
including those relating to the use of land and housing impact to the effected community
as well as fiscal impact. This report shall be presented to the Board of Supervisors no

A) All sections (pages) of the petition shall be filed at one time and may not be
amended or supplemented.
B) The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk shall determine the total number of signatures
affixed to the petition. If the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk determines that the
number of signatures thereon equals or is in excess of the number of signatures
required, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk shall examine the petition to
determine the number of qualified signers. If the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk
determines that the number of signatures does not meet the minimum number of
signatures required, no further action shall be taken.
EXAMINATION OF SIGNATURES
(E.C. §§ 9114 and 9115)
A) Within 30 working days from the date of filing, the Registrar-Recorder/County
Clerk shall verify the signatures thereon either from a 100% check or a random
sampling. If the petition contains more than 500 signatures, the random sampling
technique may be used to verify 3% of the signatures.
1. If the statistical sampling shows that the number of valid signatures is within 95 to
110 percent of the number of signatures of qualified voters needed to declare the
petition sufficient, the County Elections Official shall, within 60 days from the date
of the filing of the petition, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, examine
and verify each signature filed.
B) The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk shall certify as to the sufficiency or
insufficiency of the petition.
1. If the petition is insufficient, no action is taken.
2. If the petition is sufficient, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk certifies the
results to the Board of Supervisors at the next regular meeting of the Board.
NOTE: Supplemental petitions are not permitted.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTION IF THE PETITION IS SUFFICIENT
(E.C. §§ 1405, 9107, 9116 and § 9118)
A) If the petition is signed by voters not less in number than 20% of the entire votes
cast within the county for all candidates for Governor at the last Gubernatorial
Election preceding the publication of the Notice of Intention, the Board of
Supervisors shall either:
1. Adopt the ordinance, without alterations, at the regular meeting in which the
certification is presented or within 10 days after it is presented.
2. Immediately call a special election, if it is legally possible, at which the
ordinance, without alteration, is to be submitted to the voters.

SECTION TWO (continued)
3. Order an impact report at the regular meeting at which the certification is
presented. The Board of Supervisors shall, after receiving the report, either
adopt the ordinance within 10 days or call an election pursuant to number 2
above.
When legally possible, the election may be consolidated with a regular or special
election held within six months (180 days) or the special election shall be held not
less than 88 or more than 103 days after the date of the order of election. However,
the 103 day deadline may be extended in certain cases. The intent is that not more than
one special election for a County initiative measure may be held by a jurisdiction during
any period of 180 days.
B) If the petition is signed by voters not less in number than 10% of the entire votes
cast within the County for all candidates for Governor at the last Gubernatorial
Election preceding the publication of the Notice of Intention, an election to vote on
the question shall be consolidated pursuant to Elections Code § 9118(b) and
1405(b) with the next Statewide Election occurring not less than 88 days after
the date of the Board order or after the Board of Supervisors is presented with the
impact report.
